The Normal bolus delivers an immediate food or correction bolus. It can be delivered at any time except
during another Normal bolus. During a Normal bolus, most pump features are disabled until after all the bolus
has been delivered. The suspend function and the STATUS screen, however, are always available.
Setting the Normal bolus
Normal bolus can be used to cover the carbohydrate in a meal or snack and/or to correct a blood glucose
that is higher than your blood glucose target.
The following instructions are for a Normal bolus when the Bolus Wizard feature is turned off.
1 Go to the BOLUS MENU.
Main > Bolus
Select Set Bolus and press ACT. Go to step 2.
You can also use the
EXPRESS BOLUS button to get to step 2. Press from your HOME screen.
2a. If the SET BOLUS screen appears: (Dual/Square option is off) Go to step 3.
b. If the BOLUS TYPE screen appears: (Dual/Square Wave is on) Select Normal Bolus and press ACT.
Go to step 3.
3 The SET BOLUS screen (or SET NORMAL BOLUS screen if the Dual/Square option is on) appears with
0.0 unit bolus amount flashing. Enter your bolus amount and press ACT.
If some of the bolus insulin delivered by the pump has not been used and is active in your body, the
screen will show this amount as Act. Ins. (Active Insulin). This amount is based on the active insulin
setting selected in the Bolus Wizard feature. The Active Insulin amount shows even if the Bolus Wizard
feature is turned off. Take this amount into consideration to determine your bolus. See the About active
insulin section in the Using the Bolus Wizard feature chapter for more information.
NOTE: If you have BG Reminder turned On, the BG REMINDER DURATION screen displays. It allows you
to set the duration before you are reminded to check your blood glucose after a bolus. See the BG
Reminder section in this chapter for information about this feature.
4 The BOLUS DELIVERY screen appears and the Normal bolus starts. The pump will beep/vibrate at the
start of the bolus. As the bolus delivers, the amount shown on the screen will increase until the entire
bolus has been delivered. When the bolus is finished, the pump will beep/vibrate again and the HOME
screen will appear.
